Trump has served the country enormously well so far by speaking out
against the heinous wars the Bush and the Obama administrations have
mired us in for the past 15 years at an unbearable cost. Of course,
the "establishment" has every incentive to fight Trump because if he
becomes president, their culpability will likely be more than an
embarassment - hence it's quite essential for them to nip his
ambitions in the bud.
So for Trump, it's just not enough to be a courageous messenger, if he
wants to lead also.

"What Cruz of course has done, very intelligently, is he has gone out
and he has poached on the delegates that are going to be bound to
Trump legally on the first vote, but they're not bound after the first
vote," he said. "So what he's trying to do is win elections in
Louisiana, in Georgia, etc., where he picks up people that are pledged
to help him once they meet their legal obligations. So Cruz, I think,
will tell you he will actually get stronger on the second and third
ballots. Trump probably won't. Trump really has to rush to victory on
the first ballot, I think."
Gingrich said he could support either candidate as the nominee but
joined the choir of people urging the New York billionaire to be more
presidential. Trump has said he will, but doing so would be "boring as
hell".
Trump blasted Cruz and the establishment following a 13-point loss in
Wisconsin - a message Gingrich decried as "self-destructive".
For Trump to win, Gingrich said, his campaign has to give his
convention manager Paul Manafort significantly more authority -
"because Manafort's the one real professional he has in the
organization who has been through this before, who knows how to do it"
- and pump more money into a more expansive daily grassroots delegate
operation, in addition to being more presidential.
